Bruce,

The Speaker is saying that Israel has no blame at all. Do you believe that. Does any one who has paid any attention to the conflict believe that?

The UN created Israel by displacing ordinary people and giving away their land. I think that particular expansionism is in the past and can be kept in the past. The current expansionism, the settlers, the occupation, the fence, the fact that a foreign power can send in gunships, helicopters and bulldozers and terrorize at will those are perpetuating and expanding the current situation. That is not a path to peace.

There are Palestinians who want to push Israel into the sea. There are Israelis who want to displace all of the non Jews in the West Bank and Gaza so that Israel can return to its current borders. Both are committing atrocities, both are committing murder. Both are using terror. Both are well represented in the Israeli and Palestinian governments.
